    A lot funnier than that comment ever will be, Richard Cranium.

    Wasn't meant to be funny--I made a statement--the man made a career out of his bipolar disorder. It's not a state secret.

    Gotta issue with that?

    I do.

    Winters wasn't bipolar. He was diagnosed with depression.

    This is not meant in any sort of smart-ass way but, for some reason, I was under the impression that Winters had died some time back. Obviously, I was mistaken.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
